Authorities of the Department of State Services have issued an order to state commands to redeploy the 253 operatives who had earlier been deployed in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
It has been gathered that the personnels were requested to return to their respective commands on Wednesday, July 1, 2015 pending when the service would get further directives from the Presidency on their deployment.
According to their redeployment directives issued by the DSS’s national headquarters, some of the officials were expected to report to the Vice-President’s office, some were attached to the President’s wife while some others were attached to the Vice-President’s wife among other beats in the villa.
However, as they were reporting at the villa, the operatives were not allowed in by the ADC who reportedly said they were not needed.
After the rejection, it was learnt that the operatives were taken to the agency’s training school, Insititute for Security Studeis, Bwari, where they underwent an induction process for some days.
After this induction, the service’s authorities directed the officers to return to their former posting anjd await further directives.
“We have been asked to return to our respective state commands and to await directives or orders from the national headquarters,” one of the DSS operatives stated.
